Looking for a boundary in a continuous space is kinda pointless. All this behavior exists on the rockstar-incompetent spectrum.

Is a rockstar who works 39 hours a week stealing 1 hour from the employer? Is a junior who spins wheels but produces nothing tangible in 50 hours killing it?

This is all moralizing language around eternal behavior. The marginal value of the employee just is. Imagining a platonic employee to compare against is pointless.
